"There is an amazing wealth of information to be found in this book."
..."sprinkled with intriguing, eye-catching photos and interesting text that flows easily...an excellent introduction."
"The series does an excellent job of providing context and explanation for the modern states, rather than just a long narrative about dates, names and battles."
"New arrivals to the expanding Modern World Nations series should not be missed...assure readers plenty of material suitable for in-depth reports, yet a lively enough style to lend to browsing. All are lasting, ongoing recommendations for librarians seeking to build long-term, quality collections."
